I don't think employment and controlled substances are very good comparisons. What exactly would be the black market if players could be legally paid? I can't think of a black market in other professional sports.

Human beings desire more, it is in our DNA.  You pay someone something, they will still want more.  There is truly no such thing as saying pay them and poof, it all goes away.  People will double dip, still get paid on the side, anything to get an edge.  There would be the official payment from the school, but rest assured under the table there would be more from outside interests.  It is naive to think paying players makes it all go away.
